Exploring Natural Endometriosis Treatment

natural endometriosis treatment


Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that occurs when the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, causing complications that can be painful and even put fertility at risk. While there is no way to prevent endometriosis, there are methods of minimizing risk factors to the women who are most prone to developing the condition, as well as natural endometriosis treatment options that effectively relieve a number of symptoms related to the disorder.

Symptoms of endometriosis most often present themselves in women between the ages of 30 and 40 and include:

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Heavy spotting or bleeding between periods
  • Increasing digestive issues during periods
  • Infertility
  • Intestinal pain
  • Pain during or after intercourse
  • Painful bowel movements during menses
  • Painful cramping during menstrual cycles
  • Painful urination during menstrual cycles

As studies by the Endometriosis Foundation of America have shown, generally most at risk for developing endometriosis are women with a family history of the condition; women who experience irregular menstrual cycles; and women who have never been pregnant. Because endometriosis is associated with estrogen production, natural endometriosis treatment can sometimes be used to manage certain biological conditions that trigger the effect of producing heightened levels of estrogen and thereby increase the severity of endometriosis symptoms.

It’s Only Natural

Among the most effective natural treatment options is a combination of dietary modifications, nutrient support, emotional therapy, and alternative remedies including acupuncture and the use of herbal supplements. The goal of natural endometriosis treatment, of course, is to eliminate the primary causes of endometriosis and maintain healthy metabolic function, which will result in normalizing the production of estrogen.

Some of the natural ways to treat endometriosis include:

  • Alter your diet to eliminate nonorganic meats and dairy products and avoid foods that may contain GMOs. Increase your intake of nutrient-dense foods like cruciferous vegetables, soy, cold-water fish, and fiber to restore hormonal balance and help eliminate excess estrogen from the body.
  • Eat whole foods and maintain a balanced intake of carbohydrates to manage insulin levels and support overall hormonal balance.
  • Limit alcohol consumption.
  • Eat lean proteins at each meal to stabilize hormone levels and regulate insulin.
  • Maintain a healthy weight, as fat is a secondary production site for estrogen and often leads to an excess of estrogen in the body.
  • Supplement any dietary lack of vitamins and minerals with multi-vitamins such as calcium and magnesium.
  • Exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight and reduce body fat, which will lower estrogen production.
  • Avoid caffeine, as caffeine triggers the production of estrogen.
  • Take omega-3 supplements to manage inflammation, which often causes hormonal imbalances that can increase the risk of developing endometriosis.
  • Try acupuncture or chiropractic adjustments to reduce inflammation in the body and help support hormonal balance.

Lining up the Solutions

Each case should always be discussed with a urogynecologist or other women’s healthcare specialist to determine whether natural approaches are viable or if hormonal therapy or more aggressive methods will be necessary. In very severe cases, some women may need surgical intervention such as laparoscopic or da Vinci surgery to excise the growth, ablation, or cauterization of the tissue. Contrary to what one might assume, hysterectomy is not an effective way to manage endometriosis and should not be relied upon to relieve the issue.
